Suantraí

Suantraí Song Text

Codail suan, mo chadra bhán, codail sámh, a mhuirnín mhilis,
Luigh go ciúin sa chliabhán,dún do shúil, a leanbh dhílis.

Réalta geala anocht ag luascadh ins an spéir, fuaim na coille agus ceol na hoíche;
Fág uait an olagón, níl gá ar bith leis choíche.

English Translation:
Sleep soundly, my white lamb, sleep deeply, my sweet darling,
Lie quietly in the cradle, close your eyes, my faithful child.

Bright stars tonight are rocking in the sky, forest-sounds and night-music;
Leave aside your lamenting, there is no need for it anymore
